Disappointing News for Sun & Earth's ACME Shoppers

2010-03-12T14:13:00.000-08:00

SKU Rationalization?

ACME Markets "Discontinues"

Locally-Made Sun & Earth Products

In a recent meeting with ACME Markets, Sun & Earth received
disappointing news that the locally-based grocery retailer would
discontinue selling (as part of their SKU rationalization initiative)
Sun & Earth's 2x Laundry Detergent and Xtra Dish Liquid
effective February 28, 2010.

"This is the most distressing news in our nearly 20-year
relationship with ACME [Markets]." said John Mullins, President
and CEO of Sun & Earth of the matter. "Our customers,
including my family, have been very supportive of ACME
Markets. And over the years, ACME has been attentive to our
brand which is why I'm still hopeful [things will change for the
better]. We want our loyal customers to know that we are
working hard to identify sensible options so they can once again,
easily obtain our locally-made, natural products."

If you are disappointed with your local ACME Markets decision
to stop carrying our natural laundry detergent and dish liquid,
please let us know, contact ACME Markets via their website
or call their toll free Customer Service number at 1-877-932-7948.

From all of us at Sun & Earth, "Thank you for your continued
support of our efforts."

Alice.com Press Release: Sun & Earth Remarks

Consumer Packaged Goods Manufacturers Take Control of Product Sampling Campaigns on Alice.com

Manufacturers Selling Through Alice.com Platform Can Now Execute Their Own Sampling Campaigns to Maximize Advertising Accountability and Consumer Value

MIDDLETON, WI--(Marketwire - October 1, 2009) - Alice.com today announced a first-of-its-kind digital sampling program that allows consumer packaged goods (CPG) manufacturers to control the entire product sampling process -- from defining a specific target audience to converting delivered samples into ongoing sales. The Alice.com sampling program is the first of many advertising programs to be launched within the Alice.com platform, and represents one of the ways in which CPG manufacturers are using Alice.com to directly connect with their end consumers and gain greater accountability from their advertising.

"Sampling has traditionally been a hit-or-miss use of our advertising dollars because of the difficulties in measuring who received a sample and whether the sample resulted in a sale," said John Mullins, president and CEO of Sun & Earth, an all-natural, non-toxic cleaning products company. "Using the Alice.com platform, we can now leverage a rich set of data to pinpoint which consumers receive our samples, make it easy for those consumers to buy the product from us, and precisely measure whether the campaign is actually working. It's a great way for us to treat our customers as individuals and make sure we are spending our advertising dollars wisely."

Product samples under the program are specially packaged within Alice.com boxes and shipped free to the customer's door as part of standard deliveries. "Both large and small manufacturers now have the ability to bring their product sample right into the homes of specific users," said Brian Wiegand, CEO and co-founder of Alice.com. "The manufacturer gets an engaged user, and the consumer gets a new product that is directly relevant to his or her life. It's a win-win that is dramatically better than the traditional method of blasting out a mountain of untargeted samples to an undefined audience and guessing whether the samples had any impact."

"By using the Alice.com platform to deliver product samples, we've been able to eliminate the guesswork from our sampling efforts, and more directly connect with the consumers we want to reach in a way they find valuable," said Jeff Carducci, national sales director of derma e, a maker of skin care products. "For the first time, we can confidently measure whether our samples are reaching the right people and result in increased sales and brand loyalty."

Alice is celebrating the launch of its free sampling program with a special consumer campaign. Beginning now through October 31, consumers may find an iPod shuffle, Flip video camera, free movie rentals and more in their Alice box, in addition to targeted free product samples.

The sampling program is available to Consumer Packaged Goods manufacturers now at www.Alice.com.

Big Ideas for a Small Planet Viewing Party

2009-10-01T05:55:00.001-07:00

Sun & Earth's Sundance Channel Celebration held at Earth Mart on Tuesday, September 29th from 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. was a blast! Friends and family gathered at the eco-minded retail store in Phoenixville, PA to watch the world premiere.

We'd like to thank those (employees, family, friends, neighbors, Sunny Seven, supply partners, customers, etc.) who attended the function. And a special thanks to Earth Mart in Phoenixville, PA for providing such a great location (it's an awesome, eco-smart store) along with amazing support in organizing the event.

Sun & Earth Factory Tours

2009-07-17T05:17:00.000-07:00

Sun & Earth is a 20-year old socially and environmentally-responsible natural cleaning products developer, manufacturer, and distributor based in King of Prussia, PA. The company distributes a full-line of natural cleaners through its retail partners (both brick and mortar AND online). Customers who want the convenience of at-home delivery or who are unable to purchase from their favorite, local grocery store are able to buy direct from http://www.sunandearth.com/. Local residents (or those working nearby) are also able to purchase Sun & Earth products directly from the plant.

What: Sun & Earth offers fun-filled, educational, interactive factory tours FREE to the general public and public/private organizations. The one hour visit is full of interesting sights, unique sounds, and helpful infomation.

When: Large and small tour groups are encouraged to schedule their visits by e-mailing info@sunandearth.com. Tours are conducted Monday thru Friday beginning at 10:00 a.m. and ending at 3:30 p.m. Special arrangements/considerations should be communicated in advance in order to accomodate all guests.

Where: Located 20 minutes west of Center City Philadelphia, the King of Prussia, PA plant is conveniently located near the PA Turnpike, Route 476 (Blue Route), Route 202, and Route 76 (Schuylkill Expressway).

How: The site visit consists of four educational, interactive stations. Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by Sun & Earth's President and CEO John Mullins who provides a brief overview of the tour schedule. Next, larger groups are broken into sub-groups (if necessary) in order to maintain a "closeness-feel" during the entire tour.

Station One: Visitors decorate then add soil and seeds to their seed pots while learning about plant life. The emphasis is on the environment and what people are able to do preserve and protect it.

Station Two: Guests decorate their empty 22 oz Sun & Earth All Purpose Cleaner bottles. Children (and adults) are able to create colorful designs on their bottles. At this station, John discusses the natural ingredients (like coconut oil and orange oil) used in Sun & Earth products

Station Three: Attendees are introduced to the process of blending/mixing different ingredients together to obtain the end result...our wonderful natural products.

Station Four: Visiting friends are given the opportunity to observe our manufacturing (filling) process. The beautifully-decorated, empty 22 oz Sun & Earth All Purpose Cleaner bottles are placed on the filling line. Sun & Earth employees operate the line from start to finish. After the bottle is "capped" with a trigger sprayer, the filled container is returned to its proud, new, happy owner.

Why: Continuing our philosophy of full disclosure, Sun & Earth decided to open its doors to just about anyone (we'd probably let our competition enter if they were nice) to learn about the company, environment, and manufacturing processes.

PLANT TOURS

“Let’s get out of here” screamed a young child just after our President & CEO John Mullins announced to the Plant Tour Group that since our products are safe to use around children…that perhaps…they will now be able to help with the house cleaning.

Live just outside the King of Prussia, PA area? Interested in an interactive, fun-filled, educational Plant Tour of Sun & Earth for your family or group? E-mail J. Rotondo for details. Check out A Box of Chocolates Blog about her (and her children’s) recent Plant Tour.
